"YOU NITWIT," said Nasrudin. "HOW DO YOU KNOW WE WILL GET THE SAME BOAT TOMORROW?" 135. One evening when a banquet was all set to begin, the chairman realized that no minister was present to return thanks. He turned to Mulla Nasrudin, the main speaker and said, "Sir, since there is no minister here, will you ask the blessing, please?" Mulla Nasrudin stood up, bowed his head, and with deep feeling said, "THERE BEING NO MINISTER PRESENT, LET US THANK GOD." 136. "Have I not shaved you before, Sir?" the barber asked Mulla Nasrudin. "NO," said Nasrudin, "I GOT THAT SCAR DURING THE WAR." 137. A barber was surprised to get a tip from Mulla Nasrudin, a customer, before he even climbed into the chair.

I can't pay my bills," said one fellow to Mulla Nasrudin. "WELL, THEN," said Nasrudin, "BE THANKFUL YOU AREN'T ONE OF YOUR CREDITORS." 139.
